Hopefully the master that is Gary is still around these parts and can shed some light on this?
I've mentioned it in Good Gig / Bad Gig and I have also searched past threads and had a look around the Denon forums and can't seem to see anything that refers to this particular message that appeared on the Denon screen on Saturday night.
On Saturday night a song was playing (there's nothing wrong with the MP3 by the way, it's not corrupt) and it just stopped. I looked at the screen and there was a "Can't Access" message on it. It was connected to USB1. It happened just the once and was fine for the rest of the evening? USB2 was fine?
Of the two external HD's (both powered and both connected to a Belkin powered hub), USB2 is the older of the two. Both are FAT32.
There are around 15,000 tracks on the HD's. On the newer one (about 4 years old actually) I have songs stashed in genre folders (Indie / Rock / Chart & Dance / Motown etc etc..). On the older one I have I have the folders as A-Z.
I've read that sometimes it's best to limit 1000 tracks per folder? I have also read that sometimes the keyboard can cause problems? Confused!
I've also seen advice given that a Defrag' could help? I am pretty much 100% certain that the timer thing that gets mentioned has been turned off on the HD's.
Not sure if this helps either but the 2500 wasn't idle for ages whilst VDJ played background music during the meal. I left it turned off.
I am going to look at the HD's in detail later on and go through them to see if there are any problems but any help or advice on what could be the cause of the message would be much appreciated.
I got away with it on this occasion but I wouldn't like it to be a regular thing.
Thanks
